Description

The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) needs your help with our research!

As a, the Precipitation Identification Near the Ground project (W-PING) needs you, the Citizen Scientist, to watch and report on precipitation.

PING is looking for volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to make observations - teachers, classes, families, everyone and anyone! This app and associated web pages are your portal to providing observations to the research meteorologists at NSSL that will help us develop and refine algorithms that use the newly upgraded dual-polarization NEXRAD radars to detect and report on the type of precipitation that you see falling. To do a good job, we need tens of thousands of observations form all over the US. We can succeed only with your help.

PING volunteer observers can spend as much time as they want, from a little to a lot, making observations. The basic idea is simple: NSSL will collect radar data from NEXRAD radars in your area along with sounding data from our models during storm events, and use your data to develop and validate new and better algorithms. We have two focus areas: winter precipitation type, such as rain, freezing rain, drizzle, freezing drizzle, snow, graupel, ice pellets, mixed rain and snow, mixed ice pellets and snow and even observations of “none” when the precipitation has stopped, even if only briefly.

Why? Because the radars cannot see close to the ground at far distances and because automated surface sensors are only at airports. But the people affected by winter weather are everywhere so we need you to tell us what is happening where you are.

But we need more than winter weather details: when there are thunderstorms, we need to know if hail falls and, if it does how big it is. Measuring with a ruler is best but, whatever you do, stay safe.

All you need to do is use this app to select the precipitation type. Tell us what is hitting the ground. NSSL scientists will compare your report with what the radar has detected and what our models think the atmosphere is doing, and use it to develop new technologies and techniques to determine what kind of precipitation such as snow, ice, rain or hail and its size is falling where.

Not bad at all I saw the presentation at NWA and thought "what a great idea", however I'm presently surprised by how great it is in actuality. The reason for a one star drop is the icon, I get that it's free and helps NSSL, but something a little prettier would be nice...

Junk app No point in the app. Can't report a thunderstorm. Only rain - not even heavy rain. If it's raining so hard you can't see in front of you, can't report it. -- Can't report a T-storm with wind damage in the same report. -- Stop trying to protect me from me (with your explanation). That's my responsibility.

Second version fixes GPS issues Thanks to everyone who downloaded the app and sent feedback. The 1.1 version of the app has the following enhancements: 1. Uses cell tower based location until GPS fix is obtained, so those of you in tall buildings can still use the app. 2. The app lets go of the GPS immediately when you navigate away instead of waiting for the app to get passivated by the os. So battery use should be more friendly now. 3. Ability to view submitted reports. 4. More categories. 5. A marker on the map that indicates the location. Thanks and stay safe! Response to several common questions/suggestions: (1) A way to report intensity. The problem is that radar-measured rates and human-observed intensities are not really commensurate. We decided not to open that can of worms, for now. (2) "Settings" menu: That is something Android adds by default. This app (by design) has no menu and no settings. (3) Ability to submit photographs. We tried that before, but we got submissions of photographs of people doing not-safe-for-work activities.

Great Idea but... Love the concept, but the app isn't as great as it could be. Besides the fact that the Android version is lacking in style vs. the iPhone version, it also misses on performance. I am able to send reports, but there is no progress bar, nor are there any details listed as shown in the screenshots. The Settings button doesn't work either, no settings appear, not even a blank screen, the button just disappears when you touch it. Glad I can at least send reports and am looking forward to an updated version that will fix these bugs!

Researcher style app Please do something with the remainder of the screen real estate. Your wasting lots of space. Can not click on other locations. Seems like you should be able to especially if not obsing a tornado on the ground directly on top of you. If you want to get a good idea of the precip that falls or the weather situation allow users to make notes but require to pick a category. This would allow for better records and more precise information.

Nice app but... I like the ability to be able to report precip/met conditions. My biggest gripe with both the Apple/Android versions (I use both) is being forced to use the location services. It would be very nice to be able to predefine my locations, be able to select the one I want to report from without having to turn on location services. I know where I am at and prefer that Google, etc not know where I am at all times. I have other apps that have no problem with this so I don't think it would be a big deal.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!!!!!!!! Finally we can report the weather we see and help everyone be safe together. I encourage everyone to tell a friend. I would also like to see a selection for High Winds, Tornadoes and Lightning Strikes

I'll use it but..... It's way too limited in the scope of reports. ie: limited visibility you have to choose from dense fog, or blowing sand.. this should allow you to specify visibility distances even if it's FOG >1 mile visibility or FOG <1 mile visibility. Same goes for rain. Is it light rain, a shower, or a downpour... The concept is good, but reports could be deceiving.

Good App I think that being able to let the public tell what is going on in there spot of the world is something that will only help NWS be more able to tweek there radar maps as too what is realy happining & what is just ground cluter on radar. Please add more options so we can be more spasific about actual conditions. & the part where we can see the maps of regnal needs to be able to maby look by zip code instead of by whole chunks of the country. But I also realize it's faraly new & the tweeking will hopefly come

Good development For those who said that there limited weather types so what when collecting data if doesn't matter. They only need a few parameters anyhow. It could user a face lift.. So minus one star for that

Easy to use pinpoint weather conditions Very cool to be able to see weather reports from specific areas. Really nice for driving conditions as well. Interface could be upgraded, but otherwise it does exactly what it needs to.

Nice Being involved with the NWS as well as Skywarn, I enjoy this App as I can send real time info. The only issues that I've had with the App is that it get my GPS coords. incorrect every so often and that on occasion it does not close properly and if you are not paying attention to things, it will drain your phone battery.

Would like more options! In all honesty, I definitely like the idea of helping with anything related with crowdsourcing. However, I do feel the categories could use some improvements. Personally speaking, I would like the option to report Light Fog and Flurries.

Not so thought out As of right now after having this app for the hour I've had I find it lacking a few things. It's sleeting right now and I can't tell them that because there is not an option for that. Has an option for rain but not heavy rain. Probably gonna delete this app cuz it seems useless.

Greatly improved But... I still question whether or not our severe weather reports actually make it on the SPCs latest storm reports on the map. I've filed numerous reports and yet when I check latest reports I never see my report there.

Ok but we can make it great I love it but I find a few issues...I cannot report thunder and lightning. ..it doesnt have a way to specify rain drizzle or pouring...I would like to get more feedback like that

Need an additional feature You should add the ability to send pictures. Inches of snow and rain fall would be very helpful. For people with home weather stations, they could send snapshots of current conditions and history.

Pl@ntNet is an image sharing and retrieval application for the identification of plants.

It is developed by scientists from four French research organisations (Cirad, INRA, Inria and IRD), and the Tela Botanica network, with the financial support of Agropolis fondation.

Among other features, this free app helps identifying plant species from photographs, through a visual recognition software. Plant species that are well enough illustrated in the botanical reference database can be easily recognized.This app works on more than 4100 species of wild flora of the French territory, the species list is available through the application. The number of species and the number of images used by the application evolve with contributions of end users to the project.

It doesn't allow the identification of ornamental plants. It works even better than the pictures submitted are focused on one organ. Pictures of tree leaves on uniform background provide the most relevant results.

If you correctly identify a species, you can participate to the project by submitting your observation with the "contribution" button. These contributions subject to a moderation process will be validated collaboratively.

ARIN helps you identify fish species using data inputted by the community (crowd-sourced).

Main App Features:

1) Species: Uses a fish family tree to help you filter out species you don't need. This helps you find the fish you are looking for faster.

2) Threads: Create threads and post images/comments to get quick help from the community.

3) Profiles: You will initially be a regular user which can do things like add species to nodes, add images, add locations, make edit requests, etc... You can be upgraded to a "biologist" who can help moderate and contribute to the family tree (add, edit nodes). For now qualified biologists can email me if they would like to apply to help moderate.

4) Offline Mode: After logging in at least once online, you can continue to use most services in offline mode.

5) Location Sorting: Species presented to you will be sorted by closest location to you.

6) Image Recognition: You can perform an image recognition scan.

For optimal results, we ask that you chose images where:a) The fish is centered on the image, not touching the boundaries.b) The fish is lay flat and facing right side.c) The background is contrasted with the fish.d) Only 1 fish per image.e) Take decent quality (or higher) image with decent lighting.f) Have geo information embedded in the image so that the list can be sorted based on location too.
